AUBURN, Ala. — No. 10 Florida’s Friday evening softball game with the No. 24 Auburn Tigers has been postponed due to rain, hail and thunderstorms in the area. The Gators and Tigers were originally slated to kick off at 7 p.m. (ET) from the Auburn Softball Complex. The two squads will now play a doubleheader Saturday, beginning at 2 p.m. (ET) with game two following. Sunday’s first pitch is still set for 2 p.m. (ET).

Florida holds a 24-16 advantage over the Tigers all-time and is 8-10 on the road on Auburn’s turf.

The Tigers are 32-9 on the season and 11-6 overall in Southeastern Conference play so far in 2011.
